STEEL GRAY shielding fabric against electrosmog. RF radiation shielding up to 42 dB, groundable. Ideal for opaque curtains and textile products such as bedding and ceilings. Groundable LF. Efficiency shielding 99,99% – effective against 5G!
This shielding fabric was processed for our sleeping bag, linen and blanket for effective protection against LF and HF electrosmog. The fabric contains stainless steel threads and is therefore contactable, which means that LF electric alternating fields can be earthed. The HF mobile radiation screening attenuation is a high 41 dB and applies to high GHz frequencies.
STEEL GRAY is ideal for curtains and for products around the bed and couch because of its properties. However, it is less suited to clothing because stainless steel threads are not soft and comfortable on the skin as silver threads. At best, the feeling can be compared to an itchy wooly sweated. STEEL GRAY is very robust compared to silver fabrics and is therefore extremely durable. It can also be washed and ironed.
Use and assets of the STEEL GRAY
STEEL GRAY is an opaque fabric made of cotton wool, polyester and stainless steel used for HF+LF protection. It is typically used for curtains, flooring underlays, ceilings, furniture (beds), screens, beddings and, although not often, as a cheap clothing fabric.
- Good screening attenuation, even at high frequencies!
- Excellent price/performance ratio
- Contactable (groundable) to protect from LF fields
- Textile properties: Washable, can be ironed, can be sewn
- Quality grading: Very high

FAQ about STEEL GRAY shielding fabric
Steel Gray shielding fabric provides high-efficiency RF shielding effectiveness of up to 42 dB. It reliably protects against electromagnetic radiation (electrosmog) caused by 5G mobile networks, LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cell towers. Thanks to the integrated stainless steel threads, the protection remains stable even under mechanical stress in everyday use.
Since Steel Gray contains 30% stainless steel fiber, the texture is slightly more robust, comparable to a lightweight wool sweater. For bedding and blankets, we recommend using the fabric as an intermediate layer or wearing pajamas if you have very sensitive skin. Compared to silver-based fabrics, Steel Gray is significantly more durable and resistant to oxidation.
Yes, due to its surface conductivity, this fabric is contactable and can be grounded. Professional grounding effectively shields against low-frequency (LF) alternating electric fields, such as those caused by household wiring or electrical appliances, in addition to high-frequency (HF) radiation.
Steel Gray is very easy to maintain and durable. it can be washed at up to 60°C on a delicate cycle. We recommend using a specialized detergent for shielding fabrics (such as Texcare) to protect the metallic threads. The fabric can be ironed (level 1 without steam) and retains its full shielding effectiveness even after many washes.
Unlike fabrics with silver threads, stainless steel does not oxidize. Silver-coated fabrics can lose shielding power and discolor over time due to sweat or high humidity. Because of its stainless steel components, Steel Gray is extremely corrosion-resistant and stable—making it the ideal solution for products that are frequently moved or washed, such as blankets and bedding.
Yes, the shielding attenuation of our fabrics is regularly measured in EMC laboratories according to established standards (such as ASTM D4935-10 or IEEE Std 299-2006). Steel Gray achieves over 99.99% shielding at 1 GHz, making it a professional-grade solution for protection in sleeping and living areas.
Order Cancellation | Request Free Test Sample
If the shielding material is customized and cut from the roll in increments of 1.0 running meters at the customer’s request, returns or cancellation of the order are not possible. Therefore, you have the option to request a free material sample – please request it BEFORE ORDERING custom-cut material!
All our shielding materials are highly advanced specialty products with outstanding performance. The resale of custom-cut shielding material of this performance class is either not possible or only possible with significant financial loss, and therefore legally falls under the exception to the right of withdrawal.
By ordering custom-cut running meters, your right of withdrawal expires; by placing the order, you accept our cancellation terms and waive your right to return.




































We also used the fabric to make a radiation shield for our cats. The sad thing was that they immediately went in and didn’t want to come out.
